By Instagram standards, Farrah Brittany is an influencer. The Agency agent has more than 329,000 followers, and her posts garner thousands of likes, often reaching the five-digit mark. But she didn’t always have such a dedicated following.

“I used to look at other people and think, ‘how do they have time to post on social media? I’m too busy. Is it unprofessional? Why would anyone care?'” Brittany said during a conversation at Luxury Connect. “But in this day and age […] you need to either embrace it, or you don’t. So I made a shift into being a bit more intentional now with my social media, incorporating not only my real estate, but adding my personality and a little bit more about me as well. And that is how I feel that you build your brand.”
